About

My name is Davina and I have been researching my family history since 2011. I did not start with much information as most of my elders have now passed on, and family was not discussed much on either side of my family. My tree resides on ancestry.com.au, that was my starting point. Until I realised that not all the information on ancestry is correct. It took a little while to apprehend that copying someone else's tree could lead you down the wrong path. I started looking for outside resources, mainly government record websites and maintained genealogy trees. I have grown my tree and as of writing this bio I have 2023 people.

My DNA results came back, my heritage is 100% European. The old whispers that there was aboriginal blood does not seem to be supported by these results. My sister did her DNA as well and there were no traces in her results either.
